Confirmed Trade: [FLA/VGK] Akira Schmid for 2028 3rd round pick

[TheKrebsCycle]

Any chance they circle back on Stolarz ? I think Toronto ends up opting for someone more durable in conjunction w the kids ( Hildeby and AA ) .

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Why the hell is Florida helping Vegas like this

 

[Laus723]

This is their goalie?

WOAT offseason. Good lord

Teams two, we need a backup.

 

[Chaos2k7]

The angst by Leafs fans over our backup is fun.

UFA period hasnt even started, relax.

Schmid is an RFA coming off a 875k contract last season.

 

[Uberpecker]

I have no idea who Akira Schmidt is but I'm almost certain that a 3rd rounder should be the perfect compensation for him in a trade.

 

[ponder719]

What is wrong about that statement today, right now?

If Tarasov counts as under contract, so does Bobrovsky, so your “tandem” is missing a key element.

 

[BeranekAndNeck]

Tarasov isn’t under contract, what that hard??

He is as of today, so… not wrong. Carry on trying to troll though.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Perfect, I knew I had to keep his rookie card

 

[Laus723]

Then…Bob, Tarasov, Schmid. Lame try.

 

[Yatzhee]

OMG!

It has finally happened……

Florida and Vegas have so picked clean the rest of the league that they are now starting to consume each other…..

This was the ultimate end result of their harvesting policies……feast, feast on each others carcus…

And 30 other NHL teams and fan bases did rejoice…..

 

[Lunatik]

Interesting. He has a chance to be a starter or backup level guy?

Depends what team. On the Panthers, absolutely.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Does he fight?

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

I guess Vegas having no luck finding a trade partner for Adin Hill. $6.25M backup.

Shocking.

They are really up against it cap wise.

Since Bill Zito took over as general manager in 2020, the Florida Panthers backup goalies have a combined regular-season record of approximately 74-34-11. Over this six-season stretch, the backups have consistently provided stable depth, helping the team become a perennial contender and secure multiple Stanley Cup championships.

Luongo should get some credit IMO.

 

[Buckley]

A third round pick seems a bit steep for this guy.

Didn't they stop being perennial contenders when they finished bottom 10 in the league?

Technically, yes.
Realistically, no.

 

[BKarchitect]

He’s big and at least a backup but I highly, highly doubt this will be the final solution for the Panthers when all is said and done.

Baiscally a like for like trade off with Tarasov in age, size and results.

 

[uncleben]

I'm not surprised Florida acquired a goalie from Vegas... I just thought for sure it would be Adin Hill.

Hill is terrible and expensive.

Schmid will likely play at the level a $1M goalie will.

Reasonable take.

 

[TheBeard]

What are those golden f***s up to. Are they signing Bob on Weds??

 

[Dread Clawz]

That rare instant lose/lose trade: no Hill trade is out there for VGK so they had to do this, and Florida is as of now running a Tarasov/Schmid tandem.

It's still better than any tandem with Jarry.

 

[TotalHomer]

I like this, his QO is less than a million, which leaves about 5 million for the starter. Should be doable.
